A mission by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - known as the troika - carried out in July their seventh review of the country's progress in meeting conditions tied to the Irish bailout.

"The program remains on track, despite a challenging domestic and external backdrop," the lenders said in their report.
